WOMEN LIVING IN QATAR

----     LOLO ---------- wear  as u like ..  we  will enjoy

lol darude u already have ur eyes set on this one huh...are u going to show her the ways of Qatar? Anyways i say u can wear whatever u want as long as its modest and u dont look like a hooker walking the streets coz then u just might get honked at, teased at, guys walking up to u offering u money for special services etc etc. but hey u can always dress the way u want when ur going out with Darude, Smokey, and Ksarat for coffee...though not at the same time grrrrrrr

welcome to doha and I hope you enjoy your stay here :)

if you don't mind being stared down then you can wear whatever you like..

usually it's only in bars/clubs that its normal for a girl to wear short shorts or skirts. However, i noticed that in malls...it would be wiser to just wear jeans or a long skirt with a sleeveless top rather than wear shorts with a tshirt... 

For a moment when you told you worked in KSA, I thought, come on hold it, where in the world did you work IN ME, LOL...getting used to the shorter version of my name here...LOL...

anyways, I guess its pretty alright to be wearing anything that isnt tooo revealing...and awwe inspiring...but yes in the pubs, clubs, and parties, you alright, to be wearing anything, and when you are with DaRude, Smokey, KSA, its alright to be wearing, anything, everything, .............(or nothing...LOL...just kidding...)

LOL...

cheers...

you don't have to dress like a hooker to get honked at, hollered at, approached or stared at...just be female. Smoke...you need to be with some of the ladies who dress appropriately and watch the typical reactions..its not just those that dress a bit provocatively.

Qatar is a bit more conservative than Dubai, but wear what you would that makes you comfortable. I personally don't think wearing miniskirts is respectful here to the muslims and locals...and same with showing midsections or very low cut tops...

BUT..that being said, don't expect NOT to draw attention from men if you don't wear all that..because no matter WHAT you wear, fully covered in western gear, you WILL get stared at and approached. But its all harmless for the most part.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

LOL DaRude: O you bugger, looks like you freaking have some radar on the damn QL for letting you know whenever a newbie joins in, and if she is a girl, then it shows a Red Light if its a guy then it shows a Green Light, if its someone in between the both, then it shows a Yellow Light...LOL...thats why you get to the girls faster here, now thats some serious cheating you are doing Paaji...LLol, how you doing brother...

Scarlett: O well, I just hope your Frenchie girl-friend comes in dressed like in what she would normally wear, and I meet her only in a place where that is alright, I wouldnt want to meet her wearing a local dress...O hell no...LOL...

How you doing today gorgeous...no Jauntie, no Gymming, bad bad girl...atleast whats for breakfast...

Scarlette i was merely stating the facts of what would happen if she were to actually dress up that way...u will attract more attention with a mini skirt than u would with anything else right? but true u just need to be female to get the guys attention heck look at darude, ksarat and moi for that matter we are already honking at emayl lol

The general guidelines I've read about for women say that you should ensure you're covered from your shoulders down to your knees, i.e. a top with some form of sleeve and not too low cut, and shorts/skirt/trousers that go below your knee.

Personally I think it's good to stick to these guidelines out of respect for the conservative nature of the country you're in, but you'll see lots of people who don't. As people have said, you'll get reactions whatever you wear, but you may provoke stronger and angrier reactions if you "let it all hang out".

KSA... since when you become "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" 

don't forget she is a Medical Editor .... she will edit you all  !!

All good with me thanks!

Judging from the stares my wife gets even when she's dressed conservatively, I think some of the guys eyes and tongues might literally fall out of their heads if someone "let it all hang out".

Lucky we are here in qatar and not in Soudi, where all females have to wear ABAYA to go out of their home.  Here, we are lucky, as some of our frnd'z mentioned above we have more freedom than Kuwait and soudi but less than dubai. For Doha to become like dubai - a long distance to cover

Let it start with liberation of Labour Laws - -

What do u say?

Cover the shoulders, cover the knees, and use your judgement. If I'm going to an AWA function at one of the hotels, I might wear something sleeveless. Going to the souq, hospital, or govt dept..... probably not.

I see more and more women wearing revealing clothing nowadays, but that doesn't mean it's appropriate here!

Shorts and skirts should be long, like to the knee.  Spaghetti straps? Bring a long-sleeved shirt to throw over it. (It's so dang cold in the malls you need long sleeves anyway)!

Kameeeeney insaaaaaan such a backstabber .... hmmmmmmmm....*damn furious*

didnt we have a deal, I'm taking care of her...(if she comes alone,LOL)...if with husband, then I bring you into the scene...alright...(that applies to Boy-friend also)...LOL...

YOu bet she's gonna kill us both Paaji...

Kuwait and Dubai.

It's not unlike comparing chalk with cheese.

/-a-t-/ ksa....definitely true

It is happening even on this thread.... lol 

***** I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. ******

To everyone who answered my query and gave me insight of what and how Doha is like especially for expat women dressing up, A BIG THANKS!

now, it seems a bit clear that Doha may be a bit more like Kuwait than as liberated as Dubai where you can walk the by the malls, beach, even in private villas in shorts and skirts above knee and people do not mind at all really.

Nyways, I go to and believe on what you guys say that give some respect to what people are accustomed to in the country where I will be staying. I will be doing that.

Shukran!

There's no comparisions b/w Dubai & Doha in anything or in anywhich way...! ;) so keep it away.. Thanx..!

last i remember. kuwait was a preety open country..

i even say plenty of kuwaiti gals dressing up the way they liked...

Read what Scarlett wrote...
its true..you can be covered and still get stared at and honked at..
